The second of the 30 production examples of this early carrier jet fighter, assigned to Air Development Squadron 3 (VX-3), NAS Patuxent River, MD from 1949. It featured "Metalite" skin, made from balsa wood sandwiched between two thin sheets of aluminum. Around 1951 it was moved to Socorro, NM for damage trials and weapons testing on a firing range. By 2002 it had been saved by the New England Air Museum and was then trucked to the Vought plant at Hensley Field, TX for restoration by the Vought Aircraft Heritage Foundation, moving to the National Museum of Naval Aviation in 2012

Again sadly with marks barely discernible, this Phantom was apparently converted to a QRF-4B drone by McDonnell at Saint Louis in 1990

Like so many of the aircraft in the outdoor storage area, this Herc's paintwork is suffering badly from weathering. While on loan to the Naval Air Test Center from VR-1, in October and November 1963 it made history by making 21 full-stop landings and unassisted take-offs on the USS Forrestal, so becoming the largest and heaviest aircraft to land on a carrier. At the time it was marked 'Look Ma, No Hook'. Transferred to the USMC at the end of 1963. Much later, saw action in Operations Desert Storm and Enduring Freedom

This was the fifth prototype Tomcat, used to demonstrate systems compatibility, spending its entire operational career from 1971 as a flight testing aircraft, evaluating different systems and configurations under the control of Grumman. In 1974 it joined the PMTC for weapons system integration work and in 1990 became the first F-14 to go on public display, initially painted in VF-21 marks
